my analogy is that charlie brown, president obama, the fiscal cliff football is always being yanked out from him by the nasty republicans in the house and senate. is it not time for you to let the american people have a touchdown? where is the jobs bill? you keep talking about jobs. i have not heard -- i watched the news all the time and i have nine republicans present any jobs bill. host: beverly, we've got a lot on the table. we will get an answer from representative huelscamp. guest: thanks for your question. it is illegal to say merry christmas in congress, but i will say so anyway. most americans, and particularly in kansas, the football,,lucy holds is usually spending cuts. i'm afraid we will take a swing at the fiscal cliff and we will not make any spending cuts. if we have a spending problem in washington and not a revenue problem. republicans will be asked to talk about revenue. at the end of the day, unless we get our spending under control, we will never get our deposition under control and we are never going to get our debt under control. that's the facts of the matter. but
